What people say
Questor Offer
My name is unimportant. All you need to know is that I need someone who isn't afraid to spill a little blood for, say, [gold] gold. Tell me now if you're not interested. Are you willing to take this job?
Shhh! Keep your voice down. Before I say anything else, are you the kind of [your race] that will kill for gold? How about [gold] gold?
I am looking for someone that won't faint at the sight of blood. Human blood. For [gold] gold, would you kill a man?
Refuse Quest
You never saw me.
Scram. I don't want anyone to see us talking together.
Fine. Be that way.
Accept Quest
I want [darkb] killed. The problem is that the Dark Brotherhood won't take the job. Something about a favor they owe. I need an independent. Do the job and get back to me within a week and I'll pay you the [gold] gold. Just ask for [quest giver]. I'll be waiting right here for you.
Quest Complete
Revenge is mine! By the way, you had better get out of town. I hear the Brotherhood caught wind of this. Here's your money, [your first name].
Rumors During Quest
I hear [quest giver] hates [darkb].
[darkb] is connected to the Dark Brotherhood.
Rumors Postsuccess
Someone slew [darkb], and in public, no less!
Did you hear about the murder? [darkb] was slain by an assassin.
I never did like [darkb]. I'm glad someone finally offed [him/her]. I hear it was the Dark Brotherhood.
Questor Postsuccess
Keep your voice down. You killed [darkb] for me, and I acknowledge the debt, but I don't want people thinking I had anything to do with it.
Questor Postfailure
I hired you to do a job, but you couldn't. All you had to do was kill [darkb]. Now it's too late, and the Dark Brotherhood is after me. Just leave me alone.
Quest Log Entry
[the quest date]: I accepted a contract to kill [darkb]. I have a week to get back to [quest giver] of [quest giver's place] with the deed done.

[darkb] isn't dead! What kind of a fool do you take me for, [your first name]?
Message 1021
Help! Murderer! Help!
Message 1022
Cur! What kind of assassin are you? To arms! To arms!
Message 1023
I'm hit! [an oath].
Message 1024
Coward! You attack me without cause or provocation.
Message 1030
[quest giver]? I don't know much about [him/her]. Keeps to [himself/herself].
Message 1031
I hear [quest giver] has some pretty shady friends. But you didn't hear it from me.
Message 1032
A fine upstanding citizen. Ask anyone.
Message 1033
[darkb] is usually at [place], but I wouldn't get mixed up in [his/her] affairs.
